The national and inernational media seems to have identified MTLS as a spokesperson on behalf of rail travllers and now we have approaches every week for comments on some other disastrous move by the rail industry. We welcome this and respond carefully so as not to dragged into talking at too detailed a level about specific trains, technical details of trains etc. They want us to paint a broad brush picture, respond as your average commuter would, talk sound and rational common sense, and counter some of the appalling things going on such as SW Trains bullying of guards and passengers over penalty fares. Our team is however very limited in size, and if we are to develop, and increase our influence, and carry off No way tro run a Railway Day we will need more people on board to plan events, address meetings, talk to the press etc. You do not have to be based in the SW. We are not talking huge demand on time, but we do need people with sound ideas, able to see the bigger picture rather than just local issues, and able to speak confidently to the media. If you want to be involved, leave a message for me on this website with your phone number, and we'll call you within the next 2 weeks. Thanks
